Where do you get your love from?

Someone told me that in order to overcome fear,you need to be surrounded by love

I am fearful mostly towards people,I think some people here can relate to me but I think i still get some love.I get love from my family,get love from football,get some love from my workout and work,I think I get love but I know I need more love to be a better man

What about you all,where do you all get love from so that you would overcome some fear that you face?

I think I’m more frightened of people then being alone. I think it’s the other way around for a great deal of people.

Then the fear of being alone often leads to bad relationship choices.

IDK! I’m the last person you should ever ask for relationship advice. I know that much.

Ditto for me. That’s exactly the way I am.

I get love from my family.

I get love from myself. And some from family and friends. But I feel the most important love comes from within.

Agree,most love comes from within…

I get my love from my family as well.

I also get my love from simple pleasures and small joys.

When I pay attention - from within.

From God, my ma, and my cat.

Im like you Dream im not afraid of people im just not comfortable with them to the point that ive accepted living my life alone and adapted quite well to it.

And I get comfort from people with the same affliction. I consider you guys comrades-in-arms.

Thank you very much.

I get love from elementary particles and elements. All the sub-atomic stuff, what’s that made of? Energy! From stardust, from the big bang, cosmic substances. I get my love from science. Science is everything, responsible for everything, and yet nothing in science can be proven. We can only make guesses and test them again and again, until only a fool wouldn’t believe in science. Go science! You are the universe!

I get love from my boyfriend, without him i would feel all alone. My mom loves me, but she does not show it the way i need it. I have other family, but we are not close. I get love from a good cup of coffee too.

im not really supported by love. i have help with my mh with professionals but its their job to help people. outside professional support noone knows about my illness…only people that know are the people i met in hospital. my family are there if i need them but im not really close to them. i try to do everything myself as i dont want rely or be a burden to others.

id change this quote to ‘in order to overcome fear, you need to be brave’
